If you're having issues with the Pop & Lock # PAL8600 I would say first check the wires that you routed from your tailgate to under the truck. Make sure that the wires have not been pinched. If it seems to be fine, continue to check the wire to make sure it is still in good condition. In the engine bay you may see that heat may have caused the issue over time.
If the wire is fine. Go to the panel under your hood release and test the yellow and red wire when locking and unlocking. You... view full answer...
I reached out to Roadmaster about the problem you were having with your Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400 and I was told that your Even Brake had a faulty exhaust valve.
Their technical contact said, "When it dumps all of its air that is a good sign of a bad exhaust valve" and you would need a replacement, with the correct one being the Replacement Quick Exhaust Valve # RM-450601-50. view full answer...
According to my contact in the Tech Support department at Curt, a diode in the Curt 56421 harness which we sell as # CU86FR has shorted out which allows voltage to feed back into the trailer with the vehicle off. This is typically caused by a short circuit somewhere in the trailer wiring or by a dirty or corroded 7-way connector on the trailer. If the connector is showing green or white corrosion on the sockets, there's a good chance the corrosion has spread inside the connector which can... view full answer...
It sounds like your wiring harness is either seeing an excessive power draw from the trailer lights or there is a short in the trailer's wiring causing the fuses to blow. I suggest you disconnect the trailer from the vehicle. This will let you test the 7-way with a circuit tester and test the trailer lights directly by applying a 12V power source to the trailer plug's contacts. Please note that this harness can handle up to 4.2-amps per stop/turn circuit. If you can determine the current... view full answer...
Thank you for detailing your troubleshooting efforts with the new wiring on your trailer.
First, check the ground wires on both the harness and the trailer. Make sure both are tightly affixed to a clean bare metal spot on the vehicle and trailer frames. You can sand off paint and secure the wires to a new grounding point if needed. A weak ground can cause all sorts of weird behavior with lighting.
Check all wiring for signs of cracks or worn spots in the insulation that could cause a... view full answer...
Most likely there is a bad ground, a short, or an overload condition. First check the ground at the converter box and make sure it is attached to a clean bare metal surface. Then do the same for the main ground on the trailer side. And finally do the same for the lights on the trailer. Ground issues normally show up when there is more load on the harness. That could be why it only shows up when the vehicle lights are on.
To check for shorts you will need to inspect the wiring on the trailer... view full answer...
Sounds like the trailer wiring issue you have for your 2014 Honda Odyssey is related to the tow package wiring setup of the vehicle. What I would recommend first is to check under the hood of your vehicle for the trailer running light circuit fuse and replace if needed as it sounds like possibly a blown fuse. We do have the part # 118521 though which will replace the converter box and wiring if the problem happens to be there insted. If the fuse you checked looks good and you still have... view full answer...
We get this question quite a bit and the issue is really that the threads end up with quite a bit of corrosion and dirt which prevents the bolt from threading in. I attached a couple help articles that cover cleaning out weld nuts for you to check out but typically using a thread tap will get the threads cleaned. The size bolts are M10X1.25X30 CL8.8. view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24787 installed on your 2005 Honda Accord you will not be able to use the tow hook location to jack your car. You cannot use the hitch as a jack point. You would either need to find an alternate jack point, use a lift, or you could use something like the FloTool RhinoRamps Vehicle Ramp Set # FT11909MI to lift the rear of your Accord. view full answer...
Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118760 is a great harness. Since you say installation went well, the trailer main fuse may not be connected properly. If you are simply not getting function, check all the trailer connections and fuse locations again as outlined in the attached installation details.
If all that checks out then go back to check the white ground wire to ensure it is bare metal to metal as even paint can cause... view full answer...
This sounds like a ground issue. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light.
Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces.
The light grounds should also be attached to clean and corrosion free bare... view full answer...
Your fuses keep popping on your 2000 Honda Shadow Ace Tourer because the trailer is drawing too much power on those wiring circuits. What you need to install is the Curt # C59236 which is like the Hopkins # HM46155 that you installed except the Curt draws power directly from the battery.
The wires that connect to your light circuits just tell the unit when to send signals to which circuits. Since it is drawing power directly from your battery it will not overload the circuits on your... view full answer...
Since the only thing that isn't working for your iRV35 Stereo is the radio function but you're still getting static, it leads me to believe that the antenna on your Rockwood got damaged in the storm you had.
Try finding where the stereo is connected to the antenna and trace all of that wiring for damage as well as the antenna itself and then replace parts as necessary. view full answer...
I am sorry you have had issues with the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM43125 you have installed on your 2013 Honda Ridgeline.
To make sure the harness stays in good working order for multiple years I recommend double checking that you are routing the harness in a way that it is not too close to the muffler that could cause the wiring to be damaged and cause the module to go bad.
Do you tow just one trailer, or multiple trailers? If... view full answer...
Trailer wiring harness # 118265 is a fit for all styles of the 2015 Honda Pilot so we just have to figure out what exactly has taken place to render the harness inoperable.
You will need to make sure all of the included fuses and relays are installed and that none are blown. This includes the in-line fuses that are part of the harness. If this is a brand new wiring harness on a brand new vehicle then a blown fuse or relay is likely the problem. Consult the vehicle owners manual for all... view full answer...
With the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118265 since you know that power to the harness is an issue, the fuses are the first thing to check so you are on the right track. Check both the vehicle fuses outlined in your owners manual and also the mini fuses on the harness. Next I'd check each connector to check for bent pins and secure connection.
Finally, I'd pull the relays and swap them. If the working functions change, then you know... view full answer...
The wiring harness # 118253 is designed to replace the OEM harness on a 2011 Honda Pilot. If your Pilot did not originally come with it then it may not be completely wired throughout the vehicle so the OEM replacement could work.
There are quite a few relays and fuses that need to be installed for the harness to work properly. Check the vehicle owners manual for the locations of any fuses/relays related to the trailer wiring to make sure everything is in the right place and functioning.... view full answer...
The Reese Weight Distribution System w Shank - Round Bar - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # RE34FR is 49911 you referenced. It definitely doesn't sound right that there is more than 4 inches of difference from the base of the hitch ball when inverting your weight distribution shank with closest settings. I'm attaching an article to assist.
If you need something that allows more of that middle adjustment, I recommend the Curt Adjustable Weight Distribution Shank - 8" # C17100. view full answer...
If you have the factory tow package or just installed the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118288 on your 2021 Honda Ridgeline you will need to check the charge line fuse. According to page 564 of your owners manual I see there is a 20 amp fuse in engine compartment B fuse panel at location 11. If this fuse is damaged or missing that will explain why you do not have any power.
A Test Light # PTW2993 will allow you to verify that both sides of the fuse have power. In the event the... view full answer...
Since the only light not working on your 2021 Honda Pilot with the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118760 installed it sounds like there may be an issue with the signal coming from your Pilot.
First ensure that the right turn signal is working properly on your Pilot to ensure the problem is not with the vehicle.
Next you will take your Circuit Tester # PTW2993 to check the green wire in the connector that goes into your factory wiring harness for power. If you find that you... view full answer...
